I don't like to post unless I have to, but I searched and couldn't find much.

My question is this: Is the c6 coupe roof removable? I saw a pic on cars.com from an ad of a c6 w/ the big glass rear window there but the top removed.








Is this an option? The reason I ask is because this may suppress my needs for a substantially more expensive convertible version. Then I can pocket more $$ and buy one of these beauties a lot earlier


Thanks everyone, and sorry for being a noob.

Yes it is removeable, not an option though. Z06 is not removeable. It is Very Sweet!

Jesus christ...


I could have easily had one of these over my darn Boxster, but I wanted the convertible.



Now I am really kicking myself.......


I need a minute guys, while I go bawl my damn eyes out.

another note, Painted top is standard, Transparent top an option, a very nice option in my opinion!

Thanks. That is a really good option. Perhaps even more desirable than the convertible option itself. How much does that cost

And for even more "coolness" in addition to the soild body colored top you can get the Lexan clear top:


Which gives the car a whole different character and feel, sort of like a custom show car.

And they do store in the rear on a special bracket to hold it!

STOP IT. Have you no consideration for another man's feelings?

I haven't done it in a while but I assume you still can.....go to the Chevrolet/Corvette web site....they have a 'car builder' feature that lets you build and option a new Corvette with prices. You can see all the available factory features and options.

The targa top does not have the true open-air feel of the vert but for those who prefer a coupe and/or want the storage space inherent with the coupe.....it's a great feature. I like my targa top very much.

Bavarian Motorist

Yeah, I did that immediately after I wrote this thread and if you read the descriptions, it says removable roof panel.

I see what you mean about the open air feel, but it's a small compromise for the great driving pleasure the c6 will give me. However, not open-top at all is no option. This is the most I'm willing to compromise.


Well, at least I can save $$$ now

AFVETTE

here's something to consider and no one has yet to provide a good explanation.

The car comes standard with the solid (painted) removal roof - read FREE or INCLUDED in MSRP. Then you can:

1. Order RPO CC3 for $750 and get the 1 pc removable transparent top.

2. Order RPO C2L for $1400 and get both tops.

3. Or buy the car with the standard body colored top then buy the OEM transparent top from one of our CF supporting vendors after delivery for $1240 (shipped) and save yourself $160.

That's what I did. Someone needs to "splain" this to me.

Even with the removable roof panel stored under the rear hatch, there is plenty of room for luggage (beneath the stored roof panel). This means you can take a weekend trip and still be able to remove the roof when conditions warrant. Once at your destination, throw the roof back in place for security reasons.

Oh, if you get the clear top, Down South Vettes makes an awesome headliner you can use on extremely hot/bright days.

ok Ricky,oh, I mean Tom, GM is taking care of us!

Bavarian Motorist

I would just need one top. When it's hot out, the top comes off anyways When it's hot and rainy, I still wanna see out.

Then transparent is the way to go.

I sold my C6 last year and am considering next year's Z06. Tell me, do you think the optional removeable top will ever be a Z06 option or not?

Maybe it's removable, but it's not "intended" to be removed?

The Lotus Exige non-S version is like that.

Zymurgy

No, it will not be available on the Z06.
